Vscode-java-debug: TEMP folder with spaces breaks debugger process

[radu-ion]

If you have a Windows 10 user name that has a space in it, e.g. "Radu Ion", your system TEMP folder will have a space in it and the configured class path, saved in the temp folder, will have a space in it which is not properly escaped. See my launch command configuration:

cd 'd:\RACAI\Workspace\ROBINDialog'; & 'c:\Users\Radu Ion.vscode\extensions\vscjava.vscode-java-debug-0.26.0\scripts\launcher.bat' 'D:\openjdk-14.0.1\bin\java.exe' '-agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,server=n,suspend=y,address=localhost:55495' '-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8' '@C:\Users\Radu' 'Ion\AppData\Local\Temp\cp_7phc6p6ihdi1ys4lgtonk8k91.argfile' 'ro.racai.robin.dialog.RDManager' 'src\main\resources\precis.mw'
Error: could not open `C:\Users\Radu'

The workaround is to set the TEMP folder to a folder that does not contain spaces, e.g. "C:\Temp".
I did not have this problem say a month ago.

cd 'd:\RACAI\Workspace\ROBINDialog'; & 'c:\Users\Radu Ion.vscode\extensions\vscjava.vscode-java-debug-0.26.0\scripts\launcher.bat' 'D:\openjdk-14.0.1\bin\java.exe' '-agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,server=n,suspend=y,address=localhost:55495' '-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8' '@C:\Users\Radu' 'Ion\AppData\Local\Temp\cp_7phc6p6ihdi1ys4lgtonk8k91.argfile' 'ro.racai.robin.dialog.RDManager' 'src\main\resources\precis.mw'

Current Result

Error: could not open `C:\Users\Radu'

Expected Result

The issue seems to be with automatically inherited (git) bash shell. Can be fixed by changing shell to cmd.exe.

Thanks pavel, it works that way, but its not really a fix though. Gitbash is the standard terminal i use for everything, and this seems to be a simple escaping path name issue.

You are right. I did not realize I am changing terminal for the whole platform, which is very very inconvenient. Changing terminal just for the debugger would be more acceptable workaround.

yes I tried that, it seems to work. I added this property in settings.json , which changes the terminal just for automated tasks, which alleviates the issue to a good degree.

"terminal.integrated.automationShell.windows": "C:\\Windows\\System32\\cmd.exe"
